Kartarpur all set to welcome Sikh pilgrims, says Pak PM

Islamabad, Nov 3 : Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Sunday said that Kartarpur Corridor and Gurdwara Darbar Sahib are ready for the Sikhs pilgrims for the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev, the founder of the religion.

Mr Khan took to twitter to share the first picture of the Kartarpur Corridor complex and Gurdwara Darbar Sahib and complement his government for completing the task 'in a record time'.

Earlier, Mr Khan had announced the exemption of passport for identification and prior registration for the devotees. He also waived off the service charge of US dollar 20 dollars for the pilgrims on the 550th birth anniversary of first Sikh Guru.

The corridor will be inaugurated on November 9.

India and Pakistan last month signed a pact to open the corridor between the two countries that will allow Indian pilgrims to visit Darbar Sahib Gurdwara in Kartarpur, in Narowal district of Pakistan.
